Exploring themes of individuality and community responsibility, “Livy Little Honey Bee” delights kids and encourages talks on self-expression and species care.

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 17, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Livy is a special honey bee who doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of her hive. While her friends are busy collecting pollen and nectar, Livy is more interested in the bright colors of the flowers she sees. This gets her into a bit of trouble and leads to a big talk with the Queen Bee. Now, the Queen has to decide: should Livy be made to collect pollen and nectar like the others, or can she do something else that makes her happy and still helps the hive? “Livy Little Honey Bee,” is a captivating new children’s book by Emmy-nominated writer Celia Straus, known for her impactful contributions to television and children’s literature.

With its engaging narrative and beautiful illustrations, “Livy Little Honey Bee” combines education and inspiration, introducing young readers to themes of self-expression while also serving an urgent cause: the plight of the honey bee. Straus offers insight into the story’s inception, noting, “Nothing has given me greater pleasure in life than fostering a love of reading in my children and grandchildren. Therefore, creating stories that capture the imagination of young children through poetry and pictures while teaching them about endangered species and the importance of self-confidence is a true joy.”
